    5 inches on Wednesday, 5 more inches on Saturday.

    That's twice the amount and twice as often as your....wife/mother/sister/aunt/cousin/etc.

    Your best bet will be Total Wine or your bigger independent to start. He had some supply/logistics hiccups that pushed production back to where it was too late to get into the Meijer sets for spring/summer.

    I'll be betting big on this with my team. I don't sell Finnish LD so having this to combat it is huge. You literally can't taste the gin.

    Wtf is going on in Oxford. From that dudes wiki

    During his tenure in the Michigan legislature, he has called for a ban on hormonal birth control,[2][3] same-sex marriage and gender-affirming care for adults,[4][5][6] as well as promoted the Great Replacement conspiracy theory.[7]

    In 2023, when the state House voted 105–4 to recognize Juneteenth as a state holiday, Schriver was one of the four members to vote no

    Later that year, when the House passed a package of sex abuse bills in the wake of the Larry Nassar and Robert Anderson scandals on a 105–4 vote, Schriver was again one of the four no votes

    A friend of mine that lives in Georgia asked me if I could recommend an urban area of Detroit that was, or would potentially be soon, gentrified. Any suggestions?

    If he wants a place that reminds himself of Georgia he should move into B-Boy $P1 duplex.

    Plenty of places in Detroit are great these days but it’s definitely getting pricey.

    I'm saying "Detroit" in the same sense that most people say they are from "Detroit" yet they live in Bloomfield Hills, etc.

    Basically he wants something walkable for a young family that might be a good investment.

    Metro detroit isn't a very walkable area in general and a lot of the cities that I know that have a little downtown area are already built up and pricey. Maybe down river somewhere? I don't have much experience there other than when I dated one crazy girl from Southgate a decade ago

    Ferndale may be an option too, my understanding is Royal Oak is too expensive now since i moved out of there, so probably not a great investment.

    Do you think I have poor friends?

    But seriously - they bought at a good time in Georgia. Probably 500-750 if I had to guess.

    Might be able to buy a place in Milford that needs to be knocked down or renovated. But that’s walkable small town, not walkable urban.

    Hell I mean for 750 you can buy in downtown Rochester and have an incredibly walkable life.

    Well, your friend paid for him to be here as a joke at a low, low, low price point. And at that price point, at Stable of Stars, he can hit.

    I don’t think gentrification is a thing in any of the suburbs with walkable downtowns like Royal Oak, Plymouth, Rochester, etc... So you’d have to move to Detroit for that kind of experience, but I’m not sure you want to move to those areas with a young family unless you also want to pay for private schools.

    Same goes for Ferndale schools and probably Oak Park and Hazel Park. The other thing about those areas is the size of those houses are fairly small too.

    If schools aren’t a concern, I’d look at neighborhoods in Detroit like midtown, cork town, Palmer park, etc, where you can still get some pretty incredible old houses at a discount.

    Shooting between employees in parking garage. 25 year shot 5 times in stable condition. Suspect at large, but sounds like they know who he is.
